Wesley and Mantis Demon in “Sacrifice”

Wesley

All right, f-fine. You loved her first.

Mantis Demon

Before your kind was, my kind loved her. Stood stone on stone, built the temple. Always making ready. Ohh... But she came here.

Wesley

She? Jasmine?

Mantis Demon

Eh?

Wesley

Jasmine. That's what we call her. The... superior being that--that you loved first.

Mantis Demon

Pfah! You name her. Filthy little mice! She is the devourer... the song... the peace... the whole... and you try to name her. Work to do. [walks away, then snaps his head back to Wesley] We loved her first!

[Wesley watches the demon go back to work. It crawls up the wall and grabs a torch. Wesley stares at the bloody guts that splatted in front of him.]

Wesley

And how does your kind define love?

Mantis Demon

Same as all bodies. Same as everywheres. Love is sacrifice.
